The living room has plenty of seating and it looks out onto a nice big yard and creek. The layout makes it easy to spread out with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom upstairs and 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms downstairs. The house is close to Hungry Mother State Park and downtown Marion, Va.

Great roads for 100 mile radius. House is super clean, comfortable, neat and well maintained. Looks brand new, like it did as well 3 years ago. When we weren't riding, we were either fly fishing in the stream right next to the house or sitting on the back porch. Well definitely be back again. ##### Chuck R.

This was such a fun property! Our family loves hanging outside and this was just the place to do it. The river provided such great entertainment with many of us fishing and actually catching trout! The ladies laid in tubes suspended in the river tied down with rope. Others played lots of cornhole and some enjoyed a good book on the back porch. There were also many birds to watch and even saw a mama duck with 8 baby ducklings swimming upstream. The house was comfortable, with lots of rooms and a great living area to hang out in with a gorgeous view of the river. The kitchen was large and well equipped(lots of wine glasses😊). If your a bike enthusiast, the creeper trail is just a 1/2 hour away and it was probably the prettiest rails to trails path I’ve done. We took a day trip to Hungry Mother State Park and went on the water with kayaks and paddle boats. Also road some trails there on my mountain bike. I highly recommend this awesome spot and I know I’ll be returning there next year. ##### Bobby C. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa F. Jun 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great getaway This was a great getaway for my family. The home sleeps a lot of people (we had 10 adults) and there are multiple spaces to gather. The kitchen was well stocked with prep and cooking implements and the house was spotlessly clean when we arrived. There were plenty of extra towels, pillows and blankets as well. The yard was great, and there were a couple of gathering spaces outside as well. We enjoyed having the windows open so we could hear the river in the house. We only had two complaints - one is that there was only one house key, which meant our whole group had to stay together all the time. The other complaint was more situational for us. We had a severely autistic person in our party and we had to spend a good deal of time hiding the hosts family photos, mementos and books so he wouldn't get into those items, since he has a tendency to rip up books and photos. Otherwise we had a great time and would definitely return to this property in the future. ##### Melissa F. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chuck R. Jun 14, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house, property and location! We typically go to western NC to ride our motorcycles for a week vacation. This time we decided to head to the Marion, Va area. That was a great decision! There's not many choices for homes to rent in this area and most are not motorcycle friendly wrt driveways and road conditions. I found this property and it met the requirements. The location is perfect for riding - in minutes you can be up on the mountain twisties or be downtown for the restaurants and activities. The property is gorgeous with the trees and the stream. The house is a "sleeper"... when you pull in to the driveway it looks to be a typical brick ranch but once you enter, it is beautiful! The interior has been masterfully updated and upgraded! Workmanship was top notch. We were extremely comfortable and the house layout with the 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths flowed perfectly. I have stayed in lots of rentals where you couldn't find a straight fork or decent pan to cook in. Not here - the kitchen is well stocked with everything needed and in like new conditions. No complaints! Also, I have never stayed in a rental that was as clean and neat as this house! My compliments to the cleaning staff. The porch on the back that overlooks the stream is a great place to relax after putting 100's of miles on the bikes. We will definitely return to stay here when we come back to ride! ##### Chuck R. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2019 Archival ### 10/10 Excellent Jul 17, 2010 #### "PERFECT RELAXING GETAWAY. " "PERFECT RELAXING GETAWAY. " "We can't begin to describe the beautiful relaxing week. This home has all the amenities that anyone could ask for, plus more. Just bring your food and move in. Very clean and comfortable. We definetley enjoyed the georgeous cozy covered patio, which was complete with grill, very comfortable furniture and beautiful flowers. We wanted and did spend most of our time there, looking at and hearing the sound of the river flowing through the back yard, watching the birds, squirrels and lightning bugs. We enjoyed the surrounding state parks and beautiful mountains, and scenery. Very private country setting, but yet close to shopping and restaurants. If you want somewhere to get away from it all, relax and enjoy the sounds and sights of nature, this is the place. No stress, No hassle. Wonderful! Highly recommend! It was a pleasure making the reservation arrangements with the owner, who went over and above all our expectations to help any and every way and to make sure we were pleased. We hope we can go back again.

The house is right on a river and you have a great view of it from the large sitting area. The kitchen is big enough to cook meals for large groups. There were 9 of us in the house and there was plenty of room. We’ll be back! ##### Lynn M. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cristina O.

The house is very clean and had all we needed for a weekend stay. The five bedrooms and 3 bathrooms accommodated us all. ##### Cristina O.
